Those drunk people and the women who keep asking you for money really piss me off. I was just creeping up behind a guy to assassinate him for the informer then a drunk guy pushes me into him, leading to me having to take on about 6 guys then go back to the informer and start again. The women have got in the way when I've been trying to pickpocket someone too which is just irritating. I'm just about to do the last assassination in Memory Block 4 so hopefully I'm not too far off completing the game now. It's annoying that it doesn't seem to have been made trophy compatible. I know the game was out before trophies were introduced but some games added the feature later on, such as GTA IV. I'm hoping that Assassin's Creed II does have trophies as it seems pointless going around collecting those little flag things as there's hundreds of them.

AC II does have trophies... and it's quite an easy platinum if you can be bothered collecting all the flags etc. AB:BH added multiplayer trophies... which I just can't be bothered with.

I've been playing GTA IV lately. I don't know why I started playing it again but I really rushed through it the first time missing out on lots of chievos and stuff. So it's quite nice to replay through.

Been playing the usual Fifa and NBA 2k11 too.
 
I've started playing it again recently. On Hardcore. You should venture into the strip, really. You can make a load of money, plus you get a new safehouse where you can "store" your companions. Which is useful in case you want to change them and don't want to get rid of them completely.

I'll make do with my motel room in Novac (which I got for free for being awesome and is an "owned" residence) and my home away from home, Harpers Shack. Even though it isn't an "owned" residence, you have every crafting device and shit loads of storage and nothing ever disappears, so it's my basecamp when in the south. The only problem early on was if I was travelling by foot from the west, I could either trek around the mountain side (hella long) or cut through Primm Pass where the blind deathclaw is, but he's no trouble now so it's all good.

I'm doing fine for money. Got around 3000 caps at the moment and some of the items i've scavenged are worth loads. Got about 5 or so weapons (mostly duplicates that I don't want) valued at 1000+ caps and in areas where I am loved or worshipped I can get pretty much bang on to those prices of shop keeps.

May well venture up and take teh casinos for every penny though!

Make sure you have minimum luck of about 9 then. I made a fortune on the BlackJack tables thanks to having high luck. There are some interesting side quests to be played in Vegas. The best home from home though for me is the Presidential suite at the tops, it narrowly beats the Lucky 38 Presidential suite - by virtue of a second pool table, a board room and bar!
 
my luck is pretty low =(

Accidentally made my way to the quarry area and found a vantage point and took out the alphamale and mother deathclaws and set about cleaning out the area.

I thought i was safe and sound and proceeded to climb a tall rock pile in the centre until i realised i'd only done the south and there was still half a dozen to the north. I was suddenly surrounded by a pack of 6, boone and ede were wiped out and i thought "fuck it, lets use the fat man". I took aim and boom, sent the deathclaws and myself flying, and in the midst of the explosion *bam* everything freezes.

I lol'd and turned it off, fortunately i'd saved a few minutes previously. God, i love this game.

Mass Effect 2 ... Or at least I would be if wasn't taking so damn long to download the flipping cereberus pack. I've bought the Aegis pack as well, seems a bit of a cheek leaving decent armour and weaponary out of game in my opinion but EA know how to fleece their customers alright.

I've restarted New Vegas to try mop up some of the achievements. I've already completed the game twice, the second play through being on Hardcore mode.

Splinter Cell: Conviction. Not sure I like the new gameplay on this one, being caught in a shootout isn't one of Fishers strong points yet the game seems to be more of a shooter than a stealth game... or I'm just shit at it.

That's what I'm doing at the moment. I think I'm gonna "cheat" a little. When I get to the strip, and I have to chose which route I want to take through the main the quest, I'm gonna save at that point and complete all the remaining main quest options on this current playthrough.

If you want to cheat just do Helios One early on and keep asking the scientist for a reward after you complete the quest. The faster you hit through the dialogue the more XP you get. You can level up to 30 in minutes.

I could do, I suppose. But that's an ACTUAL cheat. The "cheat" I was thinking of is just a way to make it so I don't have to complete the game 2 more times.

If I start again I think for the most part I'll skip the main quest and uncover everything on the map. After Vegas the main quest seems a bit on the short side. I want to get Fallout3 for the PC so I use all the mighty mods that have been created but I've been advised against it, seems that you need a super charged graphics card to avoid shit loads of glitching with some of the mods.

Nope, I think this S-Cell game is headed back to gamestation for the trade. Nothing like the others.

I really need to get Reach now to complete the Halo set which has so far kept me busy, good times.

I tried PES for the first time in a while the other night and enjoyed re-living the CL away win for Spurs, even giving Gattuso a bit of a bashing while I was at it.

I put GTA Lost and Damned in the night before last and caught up on an old save.

I was on the mission early on where you have to go to the holel to meet the politician who's having a massage.

This is one of the funniest cut scenes I've seen in a game.
